Podcasts about purifying

If the first step in Purifying the mind is enjoying Beauty, the second step in Awakening is to let everything else go until all that remains inside is Beauty. Please enjoy this brief and simple reminder. If you are new to these podcasts, it could be helpful to know that the previous podcasts offer practical "How To" open up and let go into Awakening.These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. I feel they are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last. Though they, also, all stand on their own. If anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are free. Enjoy!Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.

The Dunya pushes you: "Earn more. Climb higher. Secure your future." Your heart quietly asks: "But when will you seek knowledge? What about the Akhirah?" If you've ever watched your commitment to seeking knowledge fade while life pulls you in every direction… if you've ever stared at your week and wondered when your Iman slipped through the cracks… this poem was written for you. Welcome to our new series on the Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri - a poem so striking that scholars across generations instructed their students to memorise it. Not because it's beautiful poetry, but because it slaps you awake. Taught by Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble, this series takes you into a masterpiece that speaks to the modern Muslim student - the one juggling university, work, household, and trying to hold onto their Deen in a world that doesn't make it easy. This isn't just admonition. It's not a Sheikh telling you "you're doing it wrong." It's a father confessing to his son: "These are the mistakes I made. These are the attachments that cost me. Don't repeat them. Take the path I should have taken." The poem revolves around three unshakeable truths: Zuhd - turning away from a Dunya designed to capture you Seeking Knowledge - the treasure that fills the void when you stop chasing wealth and status Purifying the Soul - Tawbah, return, and filling your heart with what Allah loves In Episode 1, Ustadh Muhammad introduces the poem's background, its author's remarkable story, and begins unpacking the very first line: "The days shatter your heart, piece by piece..." Why does the poem begin with the heart, not the body, not time, but your heart? What happens when Iman wears out like old clothing? And what are the five actions that can renew a broken heart? This episode sets the stage for a journey that will challenge every student of knowledge, every person who's felt the weight of "I'm not doing enough," and every Muslim who knows deep down: the dunya is winning, and I need to fight back.

The Odyssey concludes with release, purification, and contradiction. A legendary bow and arrow contest sets the stage for Odysseus' rampage through the suitors who tormented his household for so long. The results of this explosion of violence and the conclusion of the story have been discussed and debated for millenia. This episode looks at books 21-24 of The Odyssey, analyzing themes of memory, purification, cycles of violence, animal instinct, fate and coincidence, and more. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters.   -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that quietly sabotages many Christian entrepreneurs: double-mindedness. I felt compelled to share this prophetic word, knowing that many of us have experienced the tension between faith and fear at various points in our lives. We explore how double-mindedness shows up. Not through a lack of talent or opportunity, but as a split between believing in God's provision while simultaneously worrying about our decisions. This internal conflict can cost us peace, money, and momentum in our callings. I emphasize that God is not vague, and the Holy Spirit is not confusing; therefore, we shouldn't feel the need to hedge our bets when it comes to our faith. I reference James 1:5-8, which highlights the importance of asking God for wisdom in faith without doubting. I clarify that doubt, in this biblical context, is more than mere skepticism; it can lead to a state of double-mindedness, which is essentially doubt that has taken root. I break down the concept of double-mindedness, explaining that it can be characterized by a weak will, divided interests, and a lack of commitment to our faith.   Ready to GROW in your faith and calling??

The Portage church of Christ is a group of pre-denominational Christians that are striving to serve the Lord together. Our goal is to please God, and we believe that the best way to do that is to follow the pattern that was established by the churches in the first century and revealed in the New Testament. We have no creed or doctrine except the Bible and we follow the Bible only. We strive for unity in the teaching of New Testament doctrine. Our congregation is not part of, or subject to, any larger man-made religious organization. We are a completely autonomous congregation. We are locally governed, just as the church in the first century was. How does one becomes a member of this church congregation? The exact same way as seen in the Biblical accounts. On the day of Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection, people who repented and were baptized were saved (Acts 2:38) and the saved were added to the church (Acts 2:47). These saved people were members of the body, or church (Colossians 1:18). To become a Christian, the Bible teaches: Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God (John 8:24, 58, Heb. 11:6) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, 5) Confess Jesus as Lord (Matt. 10:32-33, Rom. 10:9-10) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16) Remain Faithful to Christ (Rev. 2:10, 2 Tim 4:7-8)

7 True Stories of Purgatory: The Purifying Fire (Ep. 486)Following last week's 7 Hallowed Stories of Holiness, this week we take you on a journey into other incredible, true stories of mercy. Purgatory is not God's punishment; it is His love, finishing its work.In this powerful special, we explore seven true stories that reveal the fire of mercy that purifies the soul for heaven. From the burned handprints preserved in Rome's Purgatory Museum to St. Catherine of Genoa's vision of love's refining flame; from St. Margaret Mary's suffering for a soul in need to Padre Pio's encounter with the “ghost” of a workman who waited for the Mass that would set him free—each story unveils a facet of God's justice made tender. (MANUSCRIPT)These are not ghost stories—they're grace stories.Listen as heaven's veil lifts and the saints remind us: love continues, prayer matters, and mercy never ends. Because the flames we fear are the same that free

FIQH 01-06: The Fitrah and Its Practical Aspects in Islam | Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at ZAD AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this session of Fiqh Semester 1 - Lecture 6, Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem explains the concept of Fitrah — the natural disposition with which every human is created. This lecture highlights the spiritual and practical aspects of cleanliness and purity, emphasizing that these actions are both hygienic and acts of worship.The term Fitrah refers to the pure, innate nature that Allah instilled in all human beings. It inclines every person toward recognizing the Oneness of Allah and doing good deeds. Allah says:"So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth; [adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know."(Surah Ar-Rum 30:30, quran.com/30/30)This verse confirms that purity and devotion to Allah are embedded in human nature. A believer's task is to maintain and refine this purity through both beliefs and actions.Shaykh Assim explains that Fitrah is of two types:Spiritual Fitrah: The inherent inclination to believe in the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed).Practical Fitrah: The natural behaviors that maintain cleanliness, purity, and modesty — essential parts of Islamic practice.It was narrated that Talq bin Habib said: "Ten things are from the Sunnah: Using the Siwak, trimming the mustache, rinsing the mouth, rinsing the nose, letting the beard grow, trimming the nails, plucking the armpit hairs, circumcision, shaving the pubes and washing one's backside."Sunan an-Nasa'i 5042https://sunnah.com/nasai:5042It was narrated from 'Aishah that: The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Ten things are part of the Fitrah: Trimming the mustache, trimming the nails, washing the joints, letting the beard grow, using the Siwak, rinsing the nose, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubes, and washing with water (after relieving oneself)." Mus'ab bin Shaibah said: "I have forgotten the tenth, unless it was rinsing the mouth."Sunan an-Nasa'i 5040https://sunnah.com/nasai:5040The Prophet ﷺ instructed specific hygienic acts that align with human nature:Using the Miswak: A natural tooth-cleaning stick. The Prophet ﷺ said:“The siwak is a means of purification for the mouth and pleasing to the Lord.”(Sunan an-Nasa'i 5, sunnah.com/nasai:5)Trimming the Mustache: It should not exceed the upper lip for cleanliness.Growing the Beard: A sign of obedience as the Prophet ﷺ commanded to let the beard grow and trim the mustache.(Sahih al-Bukhari 5892, sunnah.com/bukhari:5892)Clipping Nails, Plucking Armpit Hair, and Shaving Pubic Hair: Essential for hygiene and modesty. The Prophet ﷺ advised not exceeding forty days without performing these acts.(Sahih Muslim 258, sunnah.com/muslim:258)Islam integrates physical cleanliness with spiritual purity. By following these Sunnah practices, a Muslim maintains not only hygienic health but also strengthens their obedience to Allah. Purifying the body mirrors purifying the soul, reflecting the holistic beauty of Islam.ConclusionShaykh Assim Al-Hakeem concludes that the true believer embraces both aspects of Fitrah — spiritual faith and physical cleanliness — maintaining the purity Allah created us upon. These daily Sunnah practices cultivate discipline, gratitude, and closeness to Allah.

The post Hebrews 9:1-14 (Details of Tabernacle and Purifying the Conscience) appeared first on The Inner Altar.

In Genesis 6–9, humanity's sin breaks God's heart and provokes His judgment—but even in wrath, He remembers mercy. The flood shows us both the seriousness of sin and the greatness of God's grace. Just as Noah was saved through the ark, we are saved through Christ, who took judgment so that mercy could be ours.

When churches trade the transformative power of the gospel for flashy entertainment, they risk losing the very presence they claim to seek. Jesus purifies His church by exposing consumerism and elevating prayer, the Word, and welcoming all. (Luke 19:45-48)

In this episode, Adam and Dave start with a lighthearted story about a suspicious liquor store and end up diving into one of the most serious struggles facing men today: restraining our instincts.They reflect on:The challenges of summer routines, distractions, and drifting prayer livesThe importance of order and rhythm in family and spiritual lifeHow our passions can overwhelm us if not properly trainedPractical steps for purifying the memory and avoiding near occasions of sinThe balance between embracing God's gifts and remembering the GiverWhat it means to fight temptation as husbands and fathers, especially in seasons of abstinenceEncouragement from the spiritual masters: why pressure can be good and why we must never assume we're immune from temptationWith humor, honesty, and practical advice, Adam and Dave remind us that peace is the tranquility of order and that holiness requires vigilance, fraternity, and grace.

In light of all people one day standing before God, we must be motivated to live and speak with a deep concern for others, always with a clear conscience, resolved to be faithful regardless of how we are perceived.

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Manifold Wisdom on Display

Read Online“What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life?” Matthew 16:26Would you like to “gain the whole world?” Many people daydream about becoming exceptionally rich and being able to purchase everything they ever wanted. Others dream of doing heroic acts that thrust them into the public spotlight and lead to public admiration. Still, others dream of having great power in this world and being a person of great importance. Though none of these are bad in and of themselves, the inordinate desire for them will damage your relationship with God. And when one of these desires becomes the dominant and all-consuming desire within, the result is that you forfeit your eternal soul.When we speak of the “world,” we can understand different things. First, this is a reference to all the material things of this world—for example, the best of food and drink, self-indulgence, fleshly pleasures, material wealth, and all that is temporary and passing in this life. Second, the “world” can refer to pride and desire for attention and praise. This is when we become consumed with concern about what others think and say about us. Third, the “world” can refer to the desire for power so as to insert our own will. At a very high level, this is often the cause of wars among countries. One leader has a desire for domination and control. This desire for power and control can also affect each person within any part of that person's life, including family, friends, work, social circles, etc.The common thread among all three of these examples of worldly desires is the deception that obtaining more of them will satisfy you. Though they may satisfy you in a temporal and passing way, these desires will also have the effect of destroying your soul. This is because we have to choose. Either we seek to satiate the spiritual yearning of our souls, or we will seek to satiate ourselves with the passing promises of the world. We cannot have both.It should be noted that obtaining wealth, being publicly praised, or being put in a position of power is not evil in and of itself. In fact, any one of these offers potential for good. The problem arises when a person seeks one of these worldly desires for selfish reasons and under the delusion that it will provide fulfillment. Truth be told, any one of those situations imposes a true cross on the person who is seeking to serve God alone. The responsibility that comes with wealth, prestige, or power is real. Therefore, when one or more of these are obtained, they must be handled with detachment and humility.For example, if one becomes quite wealthy, the precept to live spiritually detached from material things still remains. Thus, in this case, material wealth poses a certain burden in the form of temptation. While this temptation certainly can be overcome and wealth can be used for good, the danger is real and must be regularly acknowledged. Or, if you are praised by many for something you did, or if you are given much responsibility and authority over others, humility and detachment must also increase so that God and God alone remains the single object of your desire. Reflect, today, upon your desires. What do you want in life? Do you want to “gain the whole world?” Do you desire to gain even some of the worldly ambitions? If so, be careful. Reflect honestly upon your interior desires and work to purify them so that you desire God's will alone. Once that happens, it will not matter to you if you are rich or poor, publicly praised or criticized, entrusted with earthly power or not. All that will matter is that you use all for the glory of God, in accord with His perfect and fulfilling will. Most glorious God, Your will is perfect and is the one and only source of fulfillment in life. Please purify my soul of all desires pertaining only to this world. May my one and only desire in life be the fulfillment of Your holy will so that all I have will only be used for Your glory.

EP 13.504 | The promise of hope is what keeps us focused during the process of the Christian life.

(1 John 3:1-10) The world's use of the word "hope" and the Bible's use of it are vastly different. The former implies some wishful thinking, while the latter suggests a confident expectation.

More than sacred—this is about cosmic justice, karmic cleansing, and the mysterious flow of divine grace. In this provocative conclusion to our two-part deep dive, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack why the Ganges is revered as the purifier of sins and how its sanctity is upheld—not just by myth or ritual, but through the living presence of Krishna and His devotees. What makes a river more than water? How does mercy override karma? And how can we become a river of grace ourselves? Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠The Ganges as a portal of divine compassion—from Vaikuntha to Earth. •⁠  ⁠How saintly souls become walking places of pilgrimage. •⁠  ⁠Grace vs. karma: why fairness isn't the highest principle in the universe. •⁠  ⁠The mystical relationship between Krishna's feet, the holy river, and the pure-hearted. •⁠  ⁠Why Bhagiratha's mission wasn't just personal—it was a multi-generational act of love. Whether you've dipped in her waters or just dreamed of the Himalayas, this episode will change the way you see rivers, saints, and the subtle forces that shape our destiny.

Can water actually wash away your karma? For thousands of years, pilgrims have journeyed to the Ganges River with unwavering faith that her sacred waters can liberate the soul. But where does that power come from? And why is it believed that even the most sinful acts can be purified through a simple bath in her current? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the profound story of King Bhagirath and the descent of the Ganga, as told in the pages of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Together, they unpack ancient insights into how grace flows through sacred elements, and how divine consciousness transforms even the physical elements of this world. Key Highlights: • Why Bhagirath's mission to bring down the Ganges spanned generations • The deep Vedic symbolism of “lotus feet” and approaching the divine from the ground up • Ganga's own doubts—can she handle the sins of the world? • What makes something sacred in bhakti: form, faith, or transcendental connection? Get ready to rethink what it means to be purified, and how spiritual energy can travel through water, sound, and intention to change the destiny of a soul.

Ken Ham joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss the growing opposition to Christianity and how challenges can strengthen faith and spread the gospel. He shares how AIG faces protests but uses them as opportunities to witness with love. Reflecting on building The Ark Encounter, he explains that stepping out in faith can be daunting, but God provides. The discussion highlights Christianity's declining influence in the West, particularly among Generation Z, yet history shows faith thrives in times of persecution. Ken stresses the importance of biblical authority, as morality collapses without absolute truth. AIG equips believers with apologetics training to defend their faith confidently. The guys remind Christians that faith is not blind but responsible, and the ultimate solution to society's problems is the gospel. Ken challenges believers to live fully for Christ, sharing the gospel boldly and recognizing the eternal significance of every soul.   Send us a textThanks for listening!
